yes when every dip*censored* in the world can place 5 spinners in a spread and kill birds.  they will get a lot of permanent rest.

Not sure what your point is?  You afraid someone else might kill more birds than you?

Give those that want to, an option.  You don't have to use them.  What are you trying to say?  Permanent rest?  Canada and most states allow them.  Oregon and Washington don't allow them unless your hunting the reservations.  Just because you could use spinners doesn't mean they will always work.  Shakers and wave making decoys are nice.  The dog doesn't tangle in them like some jerk cords.

I think both sides make good arguments.  The motorized ducks work good but they aren't the best thing that I have ever used to lure weary ducks in.  After they banned the motorized ducks I started using snatch lines to make motion in the decoys and I think it was more effective.  I ran lines from the blind out under the water to something that i sunk that had a handle or eyelet on it and then ran the line up to the decoys.  When I would pull the line it would make the decoys dive like they were feeding.  It worked great and because the lines were sunk the dogs wouldn't get tangled in them.  The bottom line is that motorized decoys won't make you kill ducks, its all the other little details.  Just my

I've never used one, but i would. If they make them for geese, that would definitely help the spread.

Geese hate them!

You guys are missing one very important point. How many pull strings can you operate? One or two. How many electric spinners can you operate? AS MANY AS YOU WANT!. Do you think guys will stop at one, two or three? I've seen unreal numbers of spinners used in spreads in other states. While birds do get smarter, they still come to within 70/80 yds and we all know that there are plenty of guys that think that this is close enough for 3.5" shells. Do yourselves a favor and vote against them. we can always work on getting the magnets back in separate legislation, but you will regret the electric spinners.

I remember when they were legal. I watch some guys turn some northern mallards with them once and they just funnel into them it was awesome. Then the next year they were outlaw and I bought the Winduk, its pretty good. They should bring them back.
